Parallel Mothers is a terrific film, right up to the last 20 minutes. (2.5 *)
(3.5 Stars) Great acting from Chastain, and overwhelming makeup, but kind of a mess of a movie.
(4 Stars) A wonderful synthesis of the pair – not a documentary!
(3.5 Stars) A flawed but intriguing look at the psychology of an ‘Unnatural Mother’.
(3.5 Stars) Outstanding performance from Vanessa Kirby, but the movie lets her down after the first half-hour.
(4 Stars) A mixed movie, but a stunning performance from Andra Day, both musically and as sensitive actress.
(3 Stars) Powerful Performances from Boseman and Davis, but it is still a play.
(4.5 Stars) A terrific thriller that is also a romantic comedy and a social commentary. Fun in many ways, but with an important message.
(5 Stars) A wonderful feminist approach that is perfect holiday entertainment. A well crafted movie.
(4.5 Stars) A sometimes difficult movie to watch, but with powerful moments. The boundaries between love and hate are thin.
(3.5 Stars) An exceptional performance by Zellweger in an otherwise mediocre movie.
(3.5 Stars). A pleasant diversion with exceptional actresses, but a less than stellar writer and director.
(3 Stars) Good music, camera work, and Erivo’s performance. But stumbles on story-telling.
(4 Stars) A fabulous performance by Glenn Close, but the story is kind of predictable.
(3 Stars) Although laced with fun and titillating moments throughout, the movie doesn’t deliver a totally coherent message.
(4 Stars) This surprising little gem will leave a mark on your heart.
(3.5 Stars) In yet another remake, Lady Gaga shows she can act better than Bradley Cooper can sing. Its OK if you’re into sappy romances.
(5 Stars) Probably the best movie of the year and a great example of excellence in all dimensions. A must-see film.
